This is a rather bad danger zone for the share price. It will heap further pressure on Bolland. He's used all his remaining life's up. One more below average performance and he's out.

Even a broken analogue clock is correct twice a day.

Not saying it's over for Next but if a warm Sep has caused them to warn then there has to be one from MKS soon imo.

I thought Next had peaked at £30 , then £40 and £50 and £60 so I never brought any.
What ever next.

[casholaa] 01/10/2014 12:42

lol - somehow a single warm September is to blame for Next's misfortunes. The first half of every September I can recall is generally warm. The thing with Next is that it's probably peaked.

Next - sales down through warm weather.

Food retail getting grossly competitive.

Must be tough times for MKS imo.

[casholaa] 23/7/2014 13:13

Come on you b*tch. £5.20.

[casholaa] 18/7/2014 11:57

September? I'd say not less than 520p -but a lot can happen between now and then.

Marks & Spencer's biggest investors warn time is running out for boss Marc Bolland to fix the business


Investors at the annual meeting rounded on the board with one, Jeffrey Judelson, from London, saying 'this must be the slowest turnaround in history'.
Another asked whether the inability to hit performance targets and trigger bonuses for staff was a 'failure of leadership'.

A number drew comparisons with the strong performance at rival Next saying M&S had been comprehensively outperformed.

John Farmer, a serial attendee at annual meetings, questioned whether M&S could successfully emulate the success at Next with Bolland at the helm. Chairman Robert Swannell said: 'To describe this board as complacent is utterly misplaced. It is both challenging and supportive in equal measure. I take my hat off to Next. What they have done has been consistent over 10 or 20 years.

'What we need to do is the same step by step by boring step so that we are consistent in delivering the returns – that's the secret of success. That's why Next is one of the top five performing shares in the FTSE 100 – you don't achieve this in a quarter, a year or two years. It has to be consistent over a decade.'
